American conservative media gushed over the nationalist victories in the European Union elections this week. Fox News, Breitbart, Washington Examiner, Daily Wire, The Blaze, and many others celebrated the results. Fox even praised the election as a strong rebuke to “socialism” and “far-left policies.”
The American Right didn’t always treat Euro nationalists with adulatory coverage. Not that long ago, conservative outlets would warn about the dangers of these parties and slander them with the same hysteric claims liberal journos deploy. The positive coverage of Euro nationalists is another positive development for the American Right.
When I started working at the Daily Caller in 2014, I ran an article about an election the National Front did well in. I was instructed by the editors to be careful in how we covered the party as we wanted to make sure readers didn’t see the nationalists as the same as the Tea Party. It was not a wise choice to openly praise Le Pen and other Euro nationalists.
This began to change with Trump’s election in 2016. A populist nationalist winning in America made it more acceptable to praise populist nationalists in Europe. But it was still the minority position.
The American Right is now far more nationalist and less wedded to the discredited pieties of the past. It embraces the similarities between its Republicans and politicians in National Rally, the Freedom Party, and the AfD. The same rhetoric is increasingly shared between them and immigration animates the Right in both Europe and America.

Passing the 19th amendment then didn’t exactly help, either.
Before mass communication and TV especially, before modern psychological advertising and politicking and gaining the easy ability to focus on the female weaknesses and work them into controlling everyday life, law, government policy, national interest and foreign affairs, and the feminized national media focus, it was probably hard to see what it would tragically lead to.
Conservatism is impotent.
What does that even mean? Become a lefty because they have more political success?
Is your brain that stilted from decades of Red Team/Blue Team propaganda, you see no other options? Agree with me or go back to DU? The reticence of Conservatism to wield power when it is granted is the failure baked into the ideology. Conservatives have a vision for the ideal society, but no will to create it. Only codifying the advances of the left, each time saying “This far and no more! We really really mean it this time!” Nationalism is the way forward.
Nations are the natural and only way to manage the diverse people of this planet.
Globalists want to make everybody the same.
That was wild, what did it mean in English?
Sorry it’s beyond you. Enjoy voting for based latinos.
It seems you often have no idea what you are saying.
My condolences. Did you know it requires an IQ of at least 90 to grasp the abstract concepts necessary to maintain a constitutional republic?
I know you write gibberish and can’t explain it when asked to.
Gibberish indeed. Any sufficiently advanced technology seems like magic to a primitive mind.
Advanced technology? You can’t explain 23 and 25 so you are only getting weirder it seems.
